Webdriver and proxy server for firefox

Question

are there any ways to set firefox\'s proxy settings? I found here information about FoxyProxy but when Selenium works, plugins are unactivated in window.

Answer 1

I just had fun with this issue for a couple of days and it was hard for me to find an answer for HTTPS, so here's my take, for Java:

    FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.type", 1);
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http", "proxy.domain.example.com");
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.ssl", "proxy.domain.example.com");
    profile.setPreference("network.proxy.ssl_port", 8080);
    driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

Gotchas here: enter just the domain and not http://proxy.domain.example.com, the property name is .ssl and not .https

I'm now having even more fun trying to get it to accept my self signed certificates...
